Blossom's Crafty Blog--Well, as it turns out, Alex isn't very good at keeping up with this "News" page--HOWEVER, she has been trying her hand at staying current with her blog. In addition to news and upcoming events, she lets her readers (that's you) in on her secret life at home, her process (that's artist-ese for "throwing together a bunch of fun stuff with glue dots and rubber cement"), her studio (aka former dining room), and so much more...! Visit often, and feel free to post comments with your own stories, feedback, or just a friendly "hello"!! Afterall, some days its just nice to know that someone's out there...:)

 

 

 

 

 

Craftacular ReCap--We had a great (long!) day at Bust's First Annual (we hope!) Holiday Craftacular. The crowds were amazing--we got such an enthusiastic response to all of our pretty little things...We definately had a lot of color for NYC!!! It was a really long event, but so much fun, and we wish we didn't have to wait until next year to do it again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dec. 17, 2005 - Bust Magazine's Holiday Craftacular - Please join us for another fun-filled day of handmade goodies a'plenty! Shortly after our debut at Handmade Arcade, we had the good fortune to be accepted into Bust Magazine's Holiday Craftacular, an all day (and some of the night) rockin' craft show in Brooklyn. Click on the banner to the left for more info about this fab event! Now all we have to do is figure out how to get two kids, ourselves, and all of our crafty gear to the Big Apple in a Saturn!!!...

Nov. 12, 2005 - Our Grand Opening! We announced our grand opening at Handmade Arcade, a punkster craft show at Construction Junction in Alex's old stompin' grounds: Pittsburgh, PA.
The show was a total success and a ton o' fun! The crowd was a great mix of funky kids, bike messengers, artsy folk, etc. It was such a relief after all our hard work to be so well received. We got alot of positive feedback and it was a really supportive environment. We will definitely do this again!
